When I try to save a ban I get failed: Can't connect. to all servers. sm plugins list gave me no error and I have checked that the servers have correct server ID. What more can I do?

UPDATE: New admins get added to the servers and I only get errors from the webpanel, no errors from the game servers. But I still get failed: Can't connect

What version of Sourcebans are you using?
Have you set the RCON password correctly?
Does RCON work from other applications, such as ingame?

Do not want to highjack this thread, but I do have the same problem. Been searching a lot around with Google for one, and that dosen't help me much. Here is the problem in detail:

SourceBans v. 1.4.10

SourceBans works great with TF2 and the plugin works with both my servers. But the RCON web console can't for some reason connect to these servers/plugins. RCON password is set and can't be many ways to do it, TCP and UDP ports are open and are running in CSF. SourceBans web works great with MySQL, but manual kick and rehash is starting to annoy me.

Here is the strange part. I use HLSW to monitor all my servers, and RCON works perfectly from there. So the servers accept incoming connection from a client, just not from Sourcebans web.

This did work before I did a complete reinstall of my rented Dedicated server.
Been modifying files and configs without any help there. And before anyone ask yes, all the modified lines are out of them.

Any other things to try out?
Is there any cap on password lenght?

Offtopic: Also getting a strange 403 forbidden popup I can not resolve (happens now and then). All files and folder per install is chmod to 777.

You need to open TCP and UDP port 27015 (or whatever port your server is on) for Inbound and Outbound traffic on your Web Host

Sadly that dosen't help me much. As for the Google part. As stated only SourceBans console via RCON dosen't work. And HLSW does, so the ports are open. Since HLSW can communicate with the servers and the web part can't.

This is a Dedicated server I myself have 100% access to, and there is no limits.

[YamiKaitou]

The ports must be opened on the machine hosting SourceBans

[Rawhead]

Seems it is hard to believe this, but I do host on 27015 and 27021. Both UDP in and out also TCP in and out is open. Also tried a wide range from 27000:27039 without anything helping it.

Gameservers and web is on the same host.

Tried to explain this over two posts.
RCON via HLSW need the same ports open to work and it does.
SouceBans web RCON console, dosen't seem to smell these ports at all, to throw me this error.
Well I guess I just have to live with this problem, but thanks for the help.

What IP are you using for sourcebans? Do you use the servers full IP, or 127.0.0.1 // locahost? At least HLStatsX:CE has problems with using localhost and/or 127.0.0.1... So try using the IP instead. I am using the servers domain name, and that works well for me.

Thanks for a reply,
As IP goes it is set to external (or full IP if you want) for SB-> server connection. HLStats works both ways for me thought plugin to web and web to db. Also set to external IP. Only localhost and or 127.0.0.1 is between these software and mySQL/db.

Edit:
Did discover that CSF did not save my port rules as it should, so made an iptables save.
But then again it list this, and still not connecting. Under server in SB web it finds it, but will not RCON.

-A INPUT ! -i lo -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 27021 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT ! -i lo -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 27021 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT ! -o lo -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 27021 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT ! -o lo -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 27021 -j ACCEPT

Same goes for port 27015. But will as I say not connect for a reason.

I'm out of ideas, also tried localhost and 127.0.0.1 just for testing and then web server panel SB will not find them.
